...the space in which we're travelling

ohhhhh im listening to 'square one' off of cold plays new album at the moment, it makes me feel good. i personally dont get how you could hate cold play, except for the reason that they are too damn likeable. they make such classy music.

ive found the place i would live given that i stay in brisbane for my future years. after a gorgeous and refreshing two days with my dear friends karen and simone in montville/maleny, i am absolutley in love with the place. it feels like a world apart from brisbane, but only an hour away. i felt revitilised to be in the country air and surrounded by lush greenery and feeling comfortably small amidst the valleys that seem to roll forever. i want to be able to run in fields dodging cow shit, walk along creeks and river beds and little winding roads every day. maleny is such a cute little town, i love that community atmosphere and it seems such a healthy lifestyle there, they also have these big chunks of chocolate from the co-op which are soooooo very good. it rained most of the time while we were there, except for the last few hours, which became surprisingly very hot. fog shrouded the roads and mountains, it felt like a movie and had that eeiry feel that i love.

probably what made the time so refreshing for me was spending it with long time close friends. being with them always makes me feel content, i feel they love me as equally as i love them, which is something i need at the moment. what makes me smile is that each of us are such different people with different characters and chosen paths in life, but we are able to come together and feel like those school days all over again... except better cause we're not in school again... thank god! as it happened we were all sick, so we were a trio of illed girls and coughing, sniffiling, pill popping, vapour patch sniffing and laughing marked us. we ate an incredible amount, i am pretty proud, i think in all over $100 on food for two days. classy. thanks sim and karen! :)

hahahaha oh yeah karen cut my hair hahahaha ohhh its quite a cracker. i havent had my hair this short in a very long time, its sitting on my shoulders, so i suppose not too short but still very different for me. at times i feel like i have a mullet hehehe charming. i dont mind it at all though, karen did a great job in her own right with the layering and feathering, ill just have to make it into something which is 'dewi.'

at the moment i cant talk. literally. its been really hard, really really hard. i think a mixture of being sick, eating really not good foods for being sick and not enough sleep. it made working today damn hard and really gross, when your coughing up a lung while serving people their groceries... not attractive and probably breaches some kind of health and safety practice or common decency? i dont mind not talking though, verbally i dont have much to say at the moment, though i dont like not being able to sing when im listening to music or being able to laugh... that feels weird to me.

dad was meant to come home tomorrow from 3 weeks away in mckay finding some work in the mines.... or something... to hell if i know, he is instead comming back next week and probably leaving again soon after that. i dont know how i feel about it, im forcing apathy but i miss talking to him about the random things we do... the world, politics and the past. i havent talked about this whole thing much, a little to a few people but i find no comfort in it so far... thats asking alot, what can i expect? i havent released yet, maybe i should go write about it tonight... that always works for me.

oh oh karen and i bought these two retro green chairs from life line furniture outlet place and they are just soo rad. i love them. the pair for $18!!! mine is in my room, looking quite spiffy amongst my current decor. itll probably be yet another prop to rest my clothes on, but that doesnt matter.... its very cool. i think it looks like a herbie, but i may have to think of something more original.

i want my tax return back to see if i can go to bali at the end of the year. i need and want to start planning it. itll give me something to look forward to, knowing i have an escape soon to come.

hope macca and elux have a safe and spiffy holiday... oh how cute! and that imi plays strong in cairns, no doubt she will party harder :p itll be special for her to see danas home town, finally see what all the fuss about ;)

anyways im off to go watch live 8, i think its called, with my mum. should be a cozy way to end a saturday evening... next week ill have to go strong in the valley... havent been out in soo long. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sagittarius23-November to 21-DecemberWeek of 2 July
Free to Dazzle: You're the focus for stacks of supportive fellow-Fire-sign energy all month. If a Family Of Origin/ Domestic/ Surreal Estate issue irked in early June, this is the week to correct it. Especially if you can conjure up a new consciousness with which to address The Irk. August is the month to expect resolution for a Weirding linked with last Nov/March. Until then? Let it be. Now? The answer is in honouring Saggo genius of yore: eg - Aphra Behn or Fritz Lang. Truly.

Personal Promise:
working at woolies and being in contact with different people constantly ive realised how much of an impact someone who is patient and kind has. i think everyone has the ability to display these qualities and all it takes is a bit of time in developing them, its about giving respect and thus receiving it. think of how the world would be if everyone did... what a dream... ill just focus on applying it to my own actions and thoughts for the time being.
